"snappy" poems
What's it take These days To write a poem That makes the world go mad That brings the crowds to their feet That spreads like wildfire Through a dry winter forest Is it those excessively long words? The ostentatiously loquacious Platitudinous ramblings Of an insecure mind aspiring To authentic intellect? Is it perhaps...      the "creativity"                of      varied      spacing   or...    could it be..... the lack                               of capitalization                the loathsome little letters                screaming out                          hey, look at us!          ... or maybe it's                the punctuation marks,      littered, haphazardly           through the text                     (whether used correctly)                or, theyre not?!      despite worrds mispeled           and a grammar might is broken    can these gimmicks increase interest         though miswritten or misspoken? Is the trick alliteration Whose bite brightly bids us To center on the snappy sounds? Although all along      unvoiced underneath Ideas idle in the isles    (or perhaps the aisles) Of the mind To meld and craft and bind Our thorough thoughts And worthy words Into lines Which Heard by herds Raise the                   Praise for which we                   Privately, desperately                   Pray Maybe it's a magical mix Of splendid in-your-head rhythm Marvelous meter that perfectly clicks Flowing smoothly without schism Well-spaced stanzas Well-used time Well-crafted phrases Well-thought-out rhymes Well, maybe not...      those gems are often ignored      cast-aside, unread, even abhorred Why? Because the modern world doesn't need your rules your restrictions your regulations your misguided boundaries your oppression your antiquated ideas    of "the right way"    to write    to speak    to act    to live    to (fill in the blank) No, what the modern world needs is Negation! Contradiction! Resistance! Revolt! And poetry whose words Say the same thing Repeat the same meaning Echo the same lyrics Rephrase the same thoughts But in an ever-so-slightly Different Varied Altered Adjusted Changed up way Line After line Of synonyms           over                and                     over                          and                          over                          again ----- What's it take These days To not give in To narcissism's spiral? But more importantly: What's it take To make my poem go viral?

It's not like I can't get up in the mornings It's simply because I'm not in the mood It's easy to say I'm lazy or something But it's quite simple, I'm not in the mood It's so breezy for you to walk over me And if I get snappy so be it I'm done with your **** be grateful I'm here Even if it isn't on time I'm still not in the mood

Not In The Mood
Wet nose, four paws, and a wagging tail follow right beside me on an uncharted trail. We're exploring, but just what for? National treasure or maybe folklore? He doesn't know and neither do I. On a day like this we don't need to ask why. I stop for a break and he looks right at me. "C'mon Dev. Let's make it snappy." I can't disappoint those big brown eyes. He never complains, frowns, or tells lies. His only intention is to insure I'm happy. So I stand back up and give him a patting. We march on in search of who knows. Through the highest highs and the lowest lows, There is always an adventure just around the bend. He's not only a puppy - he's my hairy best friend.

Hairy Best Friend
Don't be angry; Get snappy Do what makes you happy For you know that things Are hard to change; And life is full of krappy So- smile when you feel slappy or sing when you feel trappy Because you know deep down inside You can never keep people happy!!!!

Curtain Call Sunflower
The birthday song is not a song it's not even a small ditty As it is only four lines long it's really rather ****** There isn't a good chorus so isn't that a pity A catchy tune it has not got and the lyrics are not witty This song's lyrics are so short and there all the ****** same Apart from the 3rd line down when you substitute a name Okay you say "Dear" instead of "To", but its still a basic frame So this is not a song at all so why has it got the fame It's no wonder people alter the words with monkeys in the zoo And looking like these critters and smelling like them too Or changed to bread and butter in the gutter or squashed tomatoes and stew Because the song is so boring so what else can you do Who the hell wrote this song was it someone who's autistic Come on now lets be frank and a bit more realistic If I where to write this song producers would go ballistic I'd get thrown out of the biz and become a lost statistic Just because it's your birthday I'm not singing about happy People are compelled to sing when really its just ****** It's not the best song in the world I don't want to sound so snappy The birthday song is full of crap just like a soiled ***** It's like we are pre programmed even Marilyn Monroe To sing the ****** birthday song just for ****** show But honestly this song is crap and it can surely go And we can stop with the pretence and cease going with the flow When your birthday does arrive and your expecting a big day The time will come when you know your ears are going to pay Cos someone's bound to start it with or without your say Why does it have to be sung does it have to be this way Singing the birthday song should not be a life compulsion Don't succumb to the trend and quash your minds impulsion   Stamp down on the process and enforce a song expulsion Do away with this song and all of its revulsion The birthday song is not a song when it's sixteen words long Half of them are happy birthday that doesn't constitute a song The wording is so ****** thin as thin as a snapped thong And the musical arrangement isn't even strong People should not sing this song not even a small bit Why is it classed as a song we should stop singing it Most of the words are the same and there is a lack of wit So don't sing the birthday song cos it's not a song it's ****

I think in Japanese, write down my thoughts in English, then twist it all back into sushi: a tasty bite to eat. My mind is like origami folding thoughts into meditation; meditation unfolds into a crisp sheet of city lights. I love you big much, love you big time; I love the way you giggle nervously. Titter-titter, "Tee-hee-hee!" It must be amazing to find everything so funny. Big city, sake sunset; a karaoke moon rises over a robotic, neon inception. (transmutation) Transformers, Transformers: autobotic-neurotic Bumblebee comes to the aid of Samurai Prime. "Autobots, transform!!" Bored of the bright lights? Weary of the snappy-happy gaijin doing photo-photo while they look for a sweet sakura-panpan? Then take a leisurely stroll up to Hokkaido, where there's less sucky-sucky, and more bow-down-low-austerity alongside the 108 gongs a-bonging. Chant a few prayers, speak with the sacred cedars, take a dip in the hot springs with some smiling monkeys, and watch snow fall, together. Nippon, you offer everything. I can eat 20 times a day without gaining a pound. There's always more room for miso, chanko nabe, shabu-shabu, gyozo, okonomiyaki— I am going to stop writing this list so that I don't drown in my saliva. I refuse to look back, refuse to go back to the boredom of white picket fences and hamburger dreams; I want to stay here forever. I love you big much, love you big time; totemo ureshii da.

Slowly Turning Japanese
The dermatologist demands a pre-summer scan of my visual delights fully magnified. Peering into places where no one else has ever peered, even me, reminds me that this is a potentially "disruptive" process. Eye don't know what his eyes have seen.   He works in silence pin punctuated by the occasional mmmm or throat clearing rumble. Snappy removal of neutrally colored gloves signify conclusion, he opines as follows: "Were you aware," he inquires, "that the lines, the furrows on a your forehead correspond to the life your have lead?" "You have three, deep deep tracks, and that's a fact." Yes, eye know, and each one is a tree ring notation of my existence. Each a different year, each a different moment fearful, a death and a birth, a passing, a regaining. No, not children or parents, illusions. Markers of our lives are the birth and death of our illusionary, our revelation minutes, that measure and scribe what dug those furrows is now officially, no more. Until we start anew, a different Pretense, a channel commenced to commemorate. Living the dream, they say, aren't we all, eye think, and so inform him. The doctor did not bill for this visitation.

I wish when you drank you could be happy. I'm afraid when you drink, because you get snappy. At first you dance, then cry because your life is ****** If you're sad, why shouldn't I be? after all, you're the woman that had me. Soon, I cry and drink too, like mother like daughter, I do what you do.

C'EST PRESQU'AU BOUT DU MONDE..." ( IT WAS ALMOST TO THE END OF THE WORLD ) She believed that deep deep inside her the flame of a femme fatale burned brightly. Could imagine herself stepping out of some classic Film Noir. Cultivated herself to look like Marie Windsor opposite the dangerously gorgeous John Garfield. But her life it seemed had her stepping into an Edward Hopper. The isolation and the paint still wet. The lonely lady glimpsed in an hotel window from a passing train autumnal rain. Still she acted always as if she was in her own movie l walking around her tiny flat naked except for red stilettos red earrings...red lipstick. Making up her own snappy lines to some imaginary leading man. "Are you decent?" "Yes"" "But you're....you're naked!" "You only asked if I was decent!" The mirror laughed catching the reflection of who she could have been given half the chance. She never stood a chance. She threw a cigarette up in the air caught it between her lips her one and only party trick. Lit or unlit. Searching for middle C on a battered piano her mind off key abandoning it the piano's yellow smile. She watched the sunlight carve a block of time out of the dividing wall. fading the wallpaper roses. The bed that was always empty...always unmade. She danced to Weill's Youkali Tango. Put it on again...again. Scratching an already scratched record. The needle gathering fluff. The porcelain milkmaid...dust. She disliked the way sweat gathered under her ******* They were always a little too large. Hated men staring so hard. Ahhhh the faded romance a sunset heart attack. Couldn't have wrote herself a better script. Staggering in her dance gasping that all too unsubstantial air as if trying to catch time the presentpastfuture falling out of her hand. The wooden acorn of the tattered blind tapping against the ***** window pane. Neon going green. Then red. Now blue. And then green again.

I remember the day you left, It replays so clearly in my mind, I don't think you knew exactly what you were leaving behind. Suitcase in hand, You walked out the door, You looked back at me and I cried once more. Tears streamed down my face, But you just looked away, Feeling out of place. You strode out the door, My pleading made it worse, 'DON'T LEAVE DADDY' I screamed and I heard you curse. I knew you would regret it, You were so wrapped up in yourself, All you wanted was more and more wealth. You ripped me off, My mum the most, You took all our money, from pillar to post. You weren't there when we needed you most, When times got hard you just left us to rot, You didn't give a **** about us, just about what you got. I used to 'Daddy' little girl' but not anymore, I refuse to talk to you, communicate even, I don't even want to see your face, which you don't belive in. I used to love you, I used to care, But those days are over, my heart has been stripped bare. It is hard for me to trust, To talk at all, For I am worried it will all happen again and again I will fall. I became depressed when you left, I didn't want to move schools, but you made sure I would, Paid no money to my mum but we tried as best as we could. I was 8 when you left me, Depression took over, It looked after me, giving me a strong shelter and cover. Mum got sick but my little brother and I had no idea why, My mum turned bulimic from the cancer that formed, Anorexia, Bulimia, Cancer all started to take form. You don't know how hard it is, how much it hurt, Being the mother to your brother, and your mum, while trying to be a kid, I did all the housework, in the end I snapped, Couldn't take it anymore, I just cracked. I watched my mum slowly dieing, crumbling, out of my reach, Although that's just what you wanted isn't it, To tear us apart bit by bit. Causing us pain somehow amused you, Making you happy, Making me snappy. Life was hard, But now I see, You meant everything but now mean nothing to me...

Scavenger On The Rim
8am. the sun is still waking up. groggy and rubbing the night out of her wide eyes. stretching her wings to wrap around the great earth. or atleast america... i switch on the espresso machine. she hums loudly as if to say, "just five more minutes, mom!" i know, i feel the same, my dear espresso machine. oh goodness. shiny mercedes whipping around the bend. into MY parking lot? i wait to see... yes. my parking lot. my shop. haughty lady all in a rush, can't stop and enjoy the morning for one second, the pretty morning. "um, yeah. i need a blah blah blah blah blah. and make it snappy. i have somewhere to be." are you sure you dont want me to add a splash of manners in there for you? no? okay. have a nice day. it's too early to deal with this **** the sun's still waking up. i haven't had my coffee yet.

Cliche Life ***** then you die, try and laugh, no need to cry. Everyday is a new beginning, can't keep my head from spinning. Life's a journey, not a destination, waiting for my train at the local station. Same ole **** different day, always do things your own way. Don't you hate when that happens, food on face, with no napkins. Try walking in someone else's shoes, it doesn't really matter who's. Don't worry, be happy, no need to be snappy. Always do as your told, that cliche is getting old. Another day, another dollar, midgets are people too, just smaller. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, unless of course it's filled with poo. You can't always get what you want, but when you do, always flaunt. Every rose has its thorn, why does **** look like corn. Find the light at the end of the tunnel, I badly want a mistletoe belt buckle. Don't know what you got, till it's gone, if you got brains, you don't need brawn. Love will find a way, I once heard a band say. Fame is only fifteen minutes long, where you're at, is where you belong. Friends come and friends go, but it's family, you will always watch grow. There is always a mountain, you must climb, everyone will commit at least one crime. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, if you have a son, buy him a baseball mitt. Only believe in what you see, bad things always happen in three. Don't always believe what you hear or read, red blood, is what we all bleed. Knock, knock who's there, before you open, please beware. Knick, knack, paddy, whack, all girls love a good *** smack. Money don't grow on trees, in life there are no guarantees.

Knick, knack, paddy, whack, all girls love a good *** smack. Money don't grow on trees, in life there are no guarantees.

Forgot Forgot about you, forgot about me, I even forgot how to *** Forgot about birds, forgot about bees, I even forgot how to say please. Forgot about about hate, forgot about shame, I even forgot my own name. Forgot the last time, I was happy, maybe I'm mean, maybe I'm snappy. Living a life in the dark, above my head is a question mark. All I want is to be left alone, I forgot the last time, I got blown. It's not Alzheimer's, it's not amnesia, maybe I'm still under the anesthesia. Forgot about *** forgot about **** I even forgot the day, I was born. Forgot about peace, forgot about war, forgot the difference between a ceiling and a floor. Forgot about pain, forgot about suffering, I even forgot why I was hurting. Something happened inside my brain, no one seems to want to explain. Forgot about truth, forgot about lies, I even forgot how to improvise. Forgot what is hot, forgot what is cold, I even forgot everything, I was ever told. Forgot about life, forgot about love, I even forgot all of the above. So many things still left unsaid, but I forgot that I'm already dead.

Yes-sirry! these fizzes fills my feet with Everything- too delicate: a Sunny Ladybird- too sweet: a honey's Honey Lemon drink! And should we take a whiff Of such- such snappy splashy splunkydashy; We'll caress the truth of Yellow... Flashy!

Yellow (acrostic)
Some days all I feel is pain Pouring down on me like rain Feeling sorry for myself and everyone else Some days I feel so happy Shining on me bright and snappy Basking in all my love. Snug as a glove Some days I feel so angry Perhaps, I am really hangry Not my best mood Needing food Some days I feel it all Terrified to wonderful And in between so it seems

Some Days I Feel
They ask me who I want to be I ask them what is wrong with me? They say to be like others are You can't become a faulty star There's no way that you'll get that far Be a doctor, be a nurse Be a dentist, drive a hearse A poet? please, you can't do worse You can't make money just with verse They ask me how I sympathize With tear-stained faces, bloodshot eyes Those who struggle with goodbyes And quiet ones who analyze Or far too much, apologize They ask me how I am so wise I say that I just talk to them Find the lovely, hidden gem But first, I say, I don't condemn You are you and I am me That is all we have to be If we strive to be much more We fight our own internal war Don't be something for another's sake Learn to dream when you're awake Remember you're your own snowflake They ask me What makes you happy? I answer short of patience And just a little snappy I say that sometimes nothing can Like leaping out of fire Just to land in the pan I feel just as permanent As lines in the sand Hurting on the inside I just don't understand And other times I feel fine As if the sun remembered How to shine It's like depression just forgot How to poison every thought Or pull my fragile heartstrings taut And shatter every dream I sought But I don't say this all out loud In front of one big jeering crowd Or with friends or all alone Or even when I'm safe at home I look into their eyes and say Don't worry, friend, I'll be okay

IDK, A lot of feelings I guess?
It started with the wide-leg Giorgio Armani pants And it all went downhill from there. They were so chic, and might improve her stance, She could wear them to the market, hell, almost anywhere! When she put them in her shopping cart And continued to enter her credit card number, A shot went right through her fashion-hungry heart A jolt she still remembers! It was the feeling of a new era A new time in the lifespan of her wardrobe. She would become a Prada-shopper, a vintage Chanel-wearer No longer would she need to shuffle around her apartment in that awful bathrobe. She'd strut down the street, sporting her Carolina Herrera. A month later, a tingle slipped through her spine As she donned a lapis Michael Kors It was that sudden thought, "This dress is all mine!" "It's mine now, so it isn't yours!" From then on, it was her bank account that took the hardest hits Money trickled through her Valentino-studded hands, Down her Vera **** hips, Came running down in thin, green strands. Of course it all came falling apart when she saw the flawless Birkin bag, Sitting there in the Hermes shop window She knew it was the one thing she'd yet to snag! However, there was just one thing she didn't know. As she had the cashier ring it up, Dropping another ten-grand The cashier had her card snatched right up! For this, Madame Fashion couldn't stand. "Give it back!", she said, snapping her gold-dusted finger "But dear you're overdrawn," said the snappy lady. How she wanted to scream like soprano opera singer! It was then that things got real shady. In a lurch of madness, Madame jumped the counter! The other shoppers were struck into awe and fear. The cashier woman tried to stop her, But Madame had just barely escaped, finally in the clear! As she ran down fifth avenue, clutching her precious steal A horrible revelation took over this felon, She'd forgotten that she had wanted the purse in gorgeous teal! Instead she had gotten melon.

I fear I've become formulaic and dishonest though honesty has never flown freely when I bleed. I instead inscribe insolence, decadence dolled up in demand and hand picked participles to show my snappy wordsuits down this two dimension catwalk. I've tasted the fraudulent freeverse fantasy and washed out what I've done years past, former lives, servitude to scheming rhymes and tracking down the feet meter by meter. See! I own the jargon, jot it down freely with a casuality undeserved. Read carefully, cause herein spouts my effort. Slink back to default, once in whiles, show them that you got it still. Baring teeth or gleaming smiles differ at souls' windowsills. And simply so, it seems again like pox against my aching skin I simply substitute some time to rhyme and let it all begin...
